Have you guys had any glorious or funny Pokemon TCG moments, which you hold in your heart? Winning a tournament, or a tough duel or anything? I'll start by sharing my story.

My most memorable moment from the TCG was about a week ago when a few of my friends and I decided to start playing again. We all stopped playing a LONG time ago, like 5-6 years ago, so most of our cards were pretty old. I was battling my friend who was using a Water deck with Feraligatrs, Rain Dance Blastoises, Suicunes, etc and I used my Butterfree (Base set lol) deck. We both had 1 prize card left. I had a Butterfree with 4 Grass Energies and no damage counters, and he had a Feraligatr (Neo-Genesis) with 4 Water Energies 8 damage counters. It's his turn, and he can win this with Chomp. So he declares the attack and starts flipping coins. He only needs 2 heads to KO my Butterfree since it only has 70 HP. He gets: Tails, Tails, Tails, Heads, Tails, Tails, Tails, and... Tails. He got so pissed off and everyone else around us just started laughing sooo hard. On my next turn I Mega Drained away all of the damage I had on me and won the game. xDD I know that I got so lucky that time, but it was still hilarious.
 
My moment was actually not a game. It was after a City championship, and I was ready to make the 3 hour long ride back to VA. But first, someone wanted to trade. So, the deal was that he would give me a single MT pack for my Banette, Metal Energy, and a Reverse Holo Night Maintenance. I opended my pack, and I was like, no way. There was a TSD in that pack.
The guy was cool though, and did not ask for a Trade Back.

The funny thing was, that it was the last pack in his MT Booster Box. He had already pulled a Lucario Lv.X.
 
My friend and I were playing at our TCC at school, and it was my Snorlax DF vs. his Wailmer SS. He kept healing himself, and I couldn't retreat because I only had a scramble energy. So, yeah, it kinda sucked lol
 
once,i was at a tournament,and i traded with this little kid for his manaphy.i gave him my absol lol and then he took my raikou and gave me his prinplup and then he ran off.when i finnally caught up with him,he said"we were trading!"lol that was so funny.

How is that a memorable moment?

I'll always remember this one time at a city championships, I played this deaf boy. Whoever won would make top cut cuz we had the same record and there was 1 spot left. His mother said what his moves were for him. So, it was 1-1, and it was his turn, he drew, and used Jolteon ex to put damage on each of my guys. I draw, and misplay HORRIBLY by SSU'ing this one card. This kid was so awesome that he allowed me to take it back even though he knew that I would win. So instead, I chose not to take it back and he won. In the end, we both made Top 4. He lost to someone else and I went on to winning the tournament, and he and I talked (his mother talked for him) after the tournament. He was a really nice kid who was one of the best sports I've ever played with.
 
i was playing against a GG with infernape and my starting hand was this:
baltoy
rare candy
DRE
celios
pluspower
fire energy
pluspower


he started with a lone ratls and then on my turn i drew... my final pluspower! celios to get the claydol and then rare candy DRE 3 pluspower for the KO
 
Cites seem to be a good time for memories. :D

Anyway mine is during a top four match at a city championship. I was playing this kid who I had only played maybe once before and I never talked to him. But we ended up joking, throwing lame disses at each other, talking like we had been friends for a while. I ended up losing but they were still the best and most fun two games I have ever played.
 
Once at league, I played GaG against my friend's Ampharos/Cacturne. She started with a lone Mareep, I started with a Ralts (I think) and a Clefairy active with a Clefable in my hand. She started but couldn't do anything. Then it wa my turn, evolve and eventually drawed into a DRE, attaching it to my Clefable and flipped 3 heads doing exactly 50 damage. T1 Clefable FTW!
 
I have 2 memorable moments. The first is a game at league, the second was a Nats this year. However, the one at league is a long story, so I'll just say about the Nats one.
I was playing in the top 16, playing against a guy who was using GG w/Absol and Claydol (note, it was not Plox, even with Claydol), whilst I was playing Plox. I ended up losing badly (don't ask), but I managed to Psychic Boom a Gardevoir Lv.X using Ralts (DF), which was great.
 
I remember way back in the day when I used this dumb rock deck. It was me vs my brother I thought I was Screwed I had a Fossil Geodude and he had a blastoise, I had 4 prizes left he had one. I attacked and knocked him out in one hit(thats 10 tails!).
 
Attending my first Pre-release, with Ex: Delta Species and getting a Flareon Ex. Pure heaven.

dmaster out.
 
mine was when i was at BR i got 1st place on my B-Day and opened one of my packs and pulled garchomp X:D
 
I bought 6 packs and pulled a Sceptile ex, Regice *, Salamence ex d DF and Exploud ex.


And my first non-pre-release that I won, with a deck i made of my favorite Pokemon (a rogue deck, all bascis, beating out Elekid957's Flygon ex d DF deck. PWNed).

Oh, and I can never forget the opening hand of
Squirtle
Rare Candy
Blastoise ex
4 Water Energy
 
My most memorable moment would have to be when I knocked out my friends Blastoise EX with my FRLG Cloyster by successfully using that paralysis attack, like, eight times.

That was a long time ago. Breifly before I quit too.
 
Lol I have so many.
1) I was playing dragtrode vs. ampharous ex (can't attach energy, great), venasaur ex, and pidgeot. I had 2 rocket's sneasel ex with 90 damage (rocet's hideout ftw) and a bunch of other badly damaged pokemon. He has 1 prize and I have 6. I pull off a string of perfect turns and win the game.
2) We were at the 06 NY gym challenge. It was the finals and the head judge decided to do unlimited time. :/ Anyways, my rival (who went with us) is playing against a close friend, lbs vs. queendom. My rival takes game one and has a chance to take game too. He has a pidgeot active and a bunch of stuff on the bench. My friend has blastiose ex active and some other stuff (lugia ex and stuff). They both have one prize left and the stoise ex is badly damaged. Instead of using pidgeots clutch attack and winning game two (friend played both warps already), he retreats his pidgeot and does toxic with queen. We all slap are heads as my friend retreats and koes him for the game. WE ALL SHOUT AT HIM FOR NOT DOING CLUTCH FOR THE WIN. His excuse was that my dad's (also one of the judges) bawls (energy drink) was on the table. lol. btw, we walked out of there at 12:30, and then spent 4 hours driving home. What a fun trip that was.
3) Nats this year, when my rival got first place, and then nobody clapped. Great time.
4) It was top 4 at a city championship in RI. It was me vs. my friend loser. The matches were close, but the thing that made this memorable was how freaking load we were and how many people were laughing at our jokes and stuff.
5) This was at worlds 06. It was like 1 in the morning and me and my friends nick and chris were hungry. We hop over to ihop and get some breakfast (lol). We then go back to the hotel and me and chris stay downstairs for about hour/hour and a half, just listening to john silvestro laying into seena about the war and stuff. It was pretty hardcore.
6) Again, at worlds. It was the mutant draft and we were doing the drawing. Nobody had picked the winning card yet and there were only 3 left. I had already picked the card out in my head, but the person in front of me (who I later became friends with online) picked it instead and won. :/ Almost won a pokemon ipod. ugh.
7) I was over my friends greg's house, opening some packs of japenese cards with my friend chris. We weren't expecting anything, but then, all of a sudden, we spy a shining gyrados. We started screaming and jumping up and down for about 12 minutes in pure excitement.
8) Pulling 2 vapereon ex and a kyroge* in 4 packs for coming in 3rd place for a draft.
9) This last one is pretty much meeting some of the most amazing people ever and making dozens of new friends (and a few enemies).
10) Drafting a swampert, swampert ex, and a bunch of other lines but going with turbo charmeleon and winning.
 
Heh, I can think of a few over the past year:

At a league, my opponent played Speed Stadium. I decided to make use of it when my turn came, and I took out a coin I got from a preconstructed deck (the red one with all the Energy symbols on it, by the way). I flipped 14 heads in a row. He got a bit annoyed (but he didn't take it too seriously) and, as a joke, didn't allow me to use that coin for the rest of the game. That was a 1 in 16,384 chance.

At the Pasadena Nationals, I was using a deck I made called "Car Wash Out" (Swampert, Palkia Lv. X, and Pelipper) and I went up against a hand-destruction deck starring Absol, Rhyperior, and Super Scoop Up. Both of us had run out of cards in our deck--I drew the last card and happened to have 7 cards in my hand. After a moment of thinking, I decided to use Claydol's Cosmic Power, bringing two cards to the "bottom" of the deck and drawing one. This bought me enough time to deck out my opponent the following turn.

And then there's the Lancaster Battle Roads...During the first two rounds, I could only draw Holon's Castform as my Basic at the beginning. During the third round, I could only get out Unown E. (I have my reasons why I have that in my deck.) The clincher was in the fourth and final round, where I drew two basics--Holon's Castform AND Unown E.
 
Pre-Release Side Event:
I remember I was playing a 3rd world champion(before he got 3rd at worlds) back in my n00b days. I had no cards in hand and needed to top deck a certain card....erm, Warp Point out of like 30 cards. I did, and barley won the match.

My First Battle Roads:
We were battling for top 2.
She had a Blissy active and a Happiny + Energy bench'd. I killed her with Infernape Lv.X's Flare Up thinking it was game with a smile on my face (as I had another Flare Up ready to go). But then she baby evolution'd to Chansy + Boost Energy + Double Edge (as I already had 40 damage on myself..) = knock out!!!

Theres been so many others, but thoes were the two that were priceless,

~Trio
 
Getting 6 prizes in a row with Ray*. (I love the card)
